WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (2022 Rose Bowl MVP, Seattle Seahawks)

So serious question: why not plant the seed of doubt and maybe have UGA coaches spend time planning for him to play? What is to be gained from such an early announcement?

Probably would have been impossible to keep the charade going for very long unless you convinced JSN to dress for practice. And inform the entire team/staff of the plan.
Portions of virtually every practice are open.

It would have made more sense if they convinced JSN that he has 4 weeks to make a final decision.

We could have made a whole team of cardboard JSN's and leaked a rumor that Urban Meyer was coaching them personally. Like Patton on D-Day

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Freedom of speech doesn't guarantee freedom of consequence from said speech. You are allowed to say and believe whatever you like.

Your employer, a business, the police, a forum, the general public etc are also allowed to shun you or kick you out of their place of business or even arrest you for said speech.
Did you ever hear of the tragedy of McNeal the unwise?

Oh look, another absurd post epitomizing the thing you're complaining about from Jaxon, attempting and failing to shame other people for the behavior you're exhibiting, and just all around absurdity.

But sure, let's pretend none of us were paying attention:

Dec 4th - Arizona Buckeye 10 signs up for BP. Will he add value to the board? Chime in on multiple topics?

What are the first 9 words out of your mouth, an entire day before the news you claim to have waited for?

"I will lose a lot of respect if JSN doesn't play."

:lol: Yes, you will, but not how you think. You have not discussed or brought anything else to the table. You haven't even left this thread.
Your rant began before a decision came out. You shared your rant, and are trying to hold us accountable for how emotional it was.

But sure, let's take a look at your idea of thoughtful, mature posting that we should be aspiring to make. Your response when the news breaks:
I'm just glad for the daily updates on whether you respect JSN.
...
In what world does NIL money have anything to do with this, other than you dislike players being paid? Would any of your rants have looked different at all if he was being paid with a scholarship only? Wouldn't he still be leaving your team high and dry?
That's not how this works. You get every opportunity to present credible arguments or selfish emotional rants. You're choosing the latter, and stumbling over the soapboxes you're hurredly constructing, because you're looking anywhere but in the mirror.
Top rope stuff right here.

Correct. It seems like you live to post on message boards. To sit behind a computer and echo chamber other grown me who are overly obsessed with the team.

I can wish him the best but still be disappointed he quit on the team. As I believe he did.
Look guy... we've all know each other a long time. You're not gonna make anyone have an epiphany. You're welcome to join this community, but we don't really give 2 squirts if you stay until you earn it.
